Chapter 364 Descendants of Kyoto’s Famous Craftsmen

The same person, in the eyes of different people, will naturally have different perceptions.

Someone saw Higashinohara feeling unhappy all over.

When someone looks at him, he feels differently.

Almost at the same time,

Upper Kyoto City Center,

World Bank Headquarters Building,

There is a very spacious and spacious office with the name of CEO of Energy Trading Strategy Department.

Perhaps it's because the World Bank Building, which is over ninety-nine stories tall, is too high up to get cold. It's late spring, so the office in the middle of the eighty-ninth floor is particularly cold both inside and outside.

Looking towards the sky outside through the transparent glass curtain wall of the building, the sun hangs in the sky like a peeled hard-boiled egg yolk, and the light refracts on the human body without any warmth.

When you open the glass skylight and be blown by the high-altitude wind, you can't help but shrink your neck. Even the indoor decorations are cold-resistant potted plants such as "winter plum", "trachelospermia" and "winter beauty", which are cheerful in the empty and cold office.

Growing wantonly.

Behind the black wooden desk in Lion Rock in the southern suburbs, facing the glass wall, the woman turned around and held a photo in her hand from a tan calfskin envelope.

In the background of the photo, there is a drizzling lakeside. A man and a woman are sitting at a white round table. The woman is staring at the young man's profile and eyebrows, and the corners of her lips are slightly raised in an arc unconsciously, making the photo look like something is born out of thin air.

The affection and love between men and women.

The woman who took the elevator and sent this sealed photo in a calfskin envelope upstairs was named Mia. She was in her twenties but extremely talented. She graduated from a prestigious school in Beijing with a double major in finance and energy trade. Such qualifications

Enough to make her proud enough.

However, in front of this soft and dignified-looking middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk, Mia, who bowed her head slightly, showed an extremely respectful posture.

Because this woman is the eldest daughter of the Bart family of Tianhu, a family of nine heavenly beings in Shangjing who live in seclusion in the clouds of this world, and control the world's financial lifeline. She can be called the "eldest princess" of the Bart family, a world-class financial empire.

Aphra Bart.

If she wants to destabilize a country's energy mining market, all she has to do is give it a little nod.

Then tomorrow,

The country's energy and mining market will immediately begin to be saturated and then trampled. In just one night, all those holding energy and mining stock futures will be on the rooftop.

Sitting at such a height, holding such five invisible giant hands that can control the world from another angle, Aphra Bart, looking down at the world, has long been accustomed to the joys and sorrows of the bottom, love and hate, and the various conditions of the world.

It was difficult for anything to cause any waves in her still and peaceful heart.

But from the moment she walked into this office this morning to now, Aphra Butt has not looked at the human world beneath her feet, nor has she looked at the treacherous energy and mining stock market in Beijing.

He just lowered his head and silently stared at the photo in his hand, and at the girl with a slightly raised mouth in the photo.

Yes, that's right, it's a girl.

Dorothy Alita, who is sitting opposite Higashinohara in the photo, may have a formidable identity in the eyes of others, such as the "Third Judge", "Empress", etc.

But in the eyes of Aphra Bart.

That's a girl,

Forever girl.

In memory, it seems that the girl has not smiled for a long time since her father died.

"Is this this young man?" Aphra Bart suddenly asked.

"Yes." Mia nodded, "This is the photo sent by the manor."

While talking, Mia looked at the other person's face from the corner of her eye. She thought the other person would be angry, but she didn't see any anger on the face of the woman in front of her.

But as a conscientious assistant, it has become instinctive to share the employer's worries. She couldn't help but subconsciously asked tentatively:

"Do you need me to investigate?"

Aphra Bart's eyes still stayed on that photo. After hearing the words of the female assistant, she raised her head and glanced at her, smiling for no reason on her soft and dignified face.

"Investigation? Investigation of what?"

The female assistant Mia was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you the most concerned about Miss's affairs in daily life? And that young man. It is said that he seems to be a human being."

"What about humans?"

Aphra Bart suddenly interrupted expressionlessly, her light blue slender eyes silently staring at the personal assistant in front of her.

Suddenly, the temperature in the cold and quiet office seemed to drop a few degrees.

The female assistant Mia was suddenly shocked!

A certain rumor about the Tianhu Bart family came to mind, and when he glanced at the woman's face, he suddenly became speechless, not even daring to take a breath.

After a while, Aphra Bart withdrew his gaze, fell back on the face of the young man in the photo in his hand, and slowly said:

"There is no need to investigate, and there is no need to investigate. My daughter's eyes are not below mine."

Speaking of this, Aphra Bart sighed softly, "If she had not left the family and joined the damn Adjudication Division, she would be the one sitting in the office on the top floor of this World Bank building a few years later.

, rather than those short-sighted people."

"Miss is indeed very talented in finance." The female assistant Mia sincerely praised her.

Of course, what she envied even more but could only look up to was his talent in cultivating his natural abilities.

A ninth-order god-level expert who is less than thirty years old,

If placed in any country on the Cross Continent, he would be a stunning talent that could be recorded in history.

But she seemed to have thought of something again, and couldn't help but said cautiously, "But if it is a human being, the head of the family will do it in the future."

After hearing Mia's words, Aphra Bart's face was slightly startled.

That soft and dignified face rarely showed a hint of hatred, but soon returned to normal.

She stared at Higashinohara in the photo, and suddenly said slowly and softly, "I said, my daughter's eyesight is much better than mine."

"If that day comes in the future, I shouldn't need to worry about anyone who can be chosen by my daughter."

After hearing Aphra Bart's words, Mia forcibly resisted the urge to look at the young man's face in the photo, but her heart was filled with confusion and confusion.

Just a human being.

Why does Madam think so highly of her?

However, although she was conscientious in her duties, she also knew what was too much and not enough. She lowered her head slightly when she heard this, took a few steps back and sat back in the assistant's seat near the door.

Aphra Bart turned around, and the warm yellow sunlight fell on her through the glass curtain wall in front of her, but she could not feel any warmth.

Sixteen years ago,

It is at the World Bank Building, a landmark building in the center of Kyoto City.

A human man jumped from the window of the office on the top floor of the building and turned into a puddle of scarlet flesh on the ground in front of the building.

At that time, the suicide case in front of the World Bank Building caused a sensation. After all, the nobles in Beijing knew whose property it was.

But in the end it didn't make any waves.

No one knows why the dead man appeared on the top of the World Bank Tower.

No one knows why the dead man jumped from the windy window on the top floor, and no one even knows the name of the dead man.

But Aphra Bart knows everything.

At this moment, bathed in the temperatureless light and silently looking at the glass curtain wall in front of her, Aphra Bart suddenly thought coldly in her mind:

Perhaps, at some point when that man fell from a height of several hundred meters, he also passed by her in this office.

It's just that she didn't notice it at that time.

Later, she chose to accept the explanation given by the old man in the World Bank Building - that the man couldn't bear the pressure and suffered a nervous breakdown and committed suicide by jumping off the building.

But Dorothy Alita, who was only ten years old at the time, did not accept it.

So she stayed in this building.

The little girl who was only ten years old left this building.

Went to a place even colder than here, that is, the black building of the Beijing Adjudication Department.

Aphra Bart will always remember the cold and lonely look in the girl's eyes when she left the building. There is no longer any trace of a daughter's dependence on her mother.

She said that she wanted to go to a place where "the dead can speak" and that day would not be too late.

After thinking about this, Aphra Bart couldn't help but close her eyes slightly and calm down her thoughts quietly.

When I opened my eyes again,

She suddenly understood the meaning of her daughter's initiative to forward this photo to her today.

On the one hand, it is naturally to prevent her from investigating her situation too much through the maid of the manor, but on the other hand, it seems to indicate some past events that have long passed.

For a moment, his eyes fell on the young man in the photo again.

Looking at the other party's young but calm face, I suddenly sighed quietly in my heart.
